Let's face it, if you're wearing a large or small avatar, Second Life's default camera doesn't do much to give you a sense of scale. But with this Camera Controller, you can position your camera anywhere you want behind your avatar.
Wearing a big avatar that fills the screen? Maybe you're a dragon? Just use this controller to zoom the camera out. You'll take up less screen space, and you'll find that it really is a small world, after all. At least for you.
Wearing a small avatar? Is it hard to see yourself on your screen? Perhaps you're a child, or a small animal. (Or both!) Just zoom the camera in, and you'll see just how big the world is around you.
Just for the fun of it, the camera controller also allows you to move your camera over your shoulder!
The camera controller is easy to use! Just click and hold the arrows to move your camera into your desired position. The HUD will give numerical values while you're moving it, allowing for more precise positions. Clicking the camera icon will allow you to save your camera position, just in case you wanted to experiment with other camera positions. Once your camera in place, it'll follow you a lot like the default camera, so it won't feel like your camera is moving through butter!
The camera controller is yes-mod, so you can reposition, resize, and recolor it however you see fit.
The script is no-mod.
- Save up to 3 camera positions
- Give your camera positions custom names
- HUD displays numerical values of your camera position for convenience
- Camera follows avatar much like default camera, without feeling loose or laggy
Works Great! :)
Works with my virtual DRONE nicely. Off to find virtual New Jersey now. (lol)
Excellent work
I've tried another similar gadget which was just too jerky in use, this one works great. I'm a human-sized avatar as opposed to a 2.50 -meter giant, and therefore the default camera position is a bit weird. I'll be pointing people to this, as I like to build normal size buildings and the high camera makes them near impossible to walk into... Forces huge builds simply because the camera position is where it is.
Thank you! :)
A lifesaver!
This is total must-have for folks who use non-human avatars or avatars of extreme size. The default SL camera in general always seems ill-positioned to me and often makes me nauseous when I'm wearing any of my animal avs. This little gadget has made my overall SL experience way nicer.
I'd love to see a priced-up version with more settings slots!
Great!
For a long time now I've been using a full perm camera control HUD and lately have been having issues with it giving me listening errors. I came across this one and it works so well, and a LOT more customizable.
